politcal what?

i am currently in the union waiting for my next class.
im slightly worried that the teacher is going to take up the homework... and i havent done it!
i tried. i really did! but i just couldnt do it!

i read the damn article in the work book, but it says to read the New York Times, Washington Post and Dallas Morning News... LIKE I HAVE THOSE!
i went online to look them up, but it was impossible to get the information i needed. just this second i realized that i probably could have gone to the library and found a copy of each, but goodness! that's too much!
Plus, i dont understand a thing about political science! i really dont. its all too complicated for me.
i enjoy the class, and even participate in discussions ((that's a big deal! it's a class of 500+ and i raise my hand and talk!! ))

i just usually get a little lost. the teacher is more of a talker than a lectureer? (sp?)
as in he just sort of rambles on and goes off on tangents, and since we only have 2 tests, i really don't know what information i will be needing and what i wont.

UGH!
